This is nonsense tbh.

This was never the case, and if it was it was because you had ridiculously narrow demographic tastes.

It's not nonsense, it's facts and reality.

Canada and the US have 10-11% more content than UK. The disparity was much greater before most content providers left Netflix and before the advent of Netflix's original programming.

It was and still is even worse for other countries (I live in Sweden, it has 30% less content than the UK)
